NEW YORK, Aug. IA novel fashion at sea-
side resorts this season has been the introduce
ton among very rich women of drinking glass
especially designed for the purpose Of imbbng
the particular kind or kinds of mineral water
that milady affects. These glasses, the first OF
which was of course imported from Paris, are Of
various designs more or less elaborate. some Of
them revealing the most exquisite workman
ship. They are fastened to a gold or silver
chain and worn dangling from the belt The
custom, which is new one, is naturally
in danger of being carried to excess and
serving as excuse for vulgar display. This is
true of all fashions; but, the other hand,
it cannot be denied that private and elegant
glass from which to QuaH sulphur or Hawthorne
water is vastly desirable and agreeable
than drinking the same liquids out OF coarse
tumbler that has been pressed by the lips of
thousands of the common herd And since the
Imagination plays SO large a role in our actual
experiences it may be questioned whether the
obnoxious favors of mineral waters generally
would not be materially modified for the better
by the prolonged use of these individual
aesthetic glasses We all know that cham

mug becomes at once insipid and disagreeable.
From logical standpoint. therefore, and In
inverse ratio even sulphur water might be-
come palatabe in proportion to the magnif-
cepce of the drinking glass. At Saratoga a lady
we'll known in New York city has of these
glasses that is marvel of art. 1t is made of the
thinnest and purest crystal in the shape of an
ordinary tumbler. Around the edge double
row Of tureuoises set in a gold rim. and below
this a mum Der of tiny dimonds. The chain that
attaches this costly trife to the wearers side is
of alternating links of embossed gold and deep
blue enamel, also inlaid with Jewels Strange to
say, the lady is hardly satisfied with it. how
ever, and thinks of sending abroad for one of

TOBOGGAN OUTFITS.

Interesting Information Concerning; tho
Latest Fashionable Craze.
In talk with a dealer in toboggan
costumes and articles reporter
learned some interesting facts. A COM
plete suit for man costs from 500 to
$50 and consists of knickerbockers and
jacket made of wool blankets, a
worsted tuque or cap with cord and
tassel, sash, stockings and woollen or
buckskin moccasins. The suits are
made in nearly all colors, the body of
the garments being plaia with colored
stripes. As rule the stripes are red,
blue and white, the red being the favo-
rite. The prices for the different arti.
Giles range something like this:

Knc1erbockers. S. to IS Stockings . 81 to 81 rs
Tuque. 81 25 to S. Mocassins -. 81 so to So
Ladies suits consist of the same Kind
of stockings and moccasins as the men
wear and a long over-garment, made
of blanket material and resembling a
cloak with hood These garments
cost from $3.50 to $1S each and are
made in all colors, though the ladies as
rule prefer white. In regard to the
toboggan it was stated that the old
Indian form was perfectly fiat on the
bearing surface formed of one OF two
pieces of thin wood, and besides lack
ing the requisite strength and lateral
resiliency, it offered the greatest resist
ance or FRACTIONAL surface to the snow
The toboggans now in general use are
made of Stats which are shaped to
lessen the FRACTIONAL surface Some of
the best that are made cost $40 and $12
each. They are eighteen inches wide
and six and seven feet long. They are
made of rock maple, selected, kiln
dried, and highly finished. They con-
sist of seven Stats each, oval-shaped on
the bearing surface, three Of which are
slightly thicker than the others, and
are provided with q steel shoe. This
shoe, by an ingenious invention requir-
ing special machinery, is fastened by
1ianges that are turned into the wood
i'll such way that no bolts, screws or
rivets are used anywhere along the
bearing surface. Less elaborate tobog-
gans are bought for from 81 to $3.50

AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.
Superstitions of Sneezing Which Are Sever
al Centuries Old.

Superstitions of Sneezing Which Are Sever
al Centuries Old.
Most people sneeze in the course of
their lifetime, and even in this country
there are many communities among
whom bystanders, upon such an occa-
sion, will eXclaim: "God bless you!"
This is designed to avert the evil omen
The superstition was brought here from
England and from most of the northern
nations of Europe. Many of our read
ers will recall what Longfellow wrote
of the custom in Sweden: :'You sneeze,
and the peasants cry, God bless your -
a writer at the beginning of this CEN
fury, remarking upon the customs of
Italy, says that when you sneeze, "even
in the theaters, men rise and wish you
'Fettcit0" " The purport of this is the
same as the hearty Swedish and English
''God bless your
The origin of this custom in the diff
ferent countries of Europe was the same,
just as its meaning is the same. 1t has
been traced to those visitations of fear
full pestilence known as the Black Death
One will read OF it in England in the
time of Edward III. In 1850 this plague
swept over Sweden and Denmark. It's
ravages in those countries were SO great
that the disease gained the name of the
tiger death. The earliest symptoms of
an attack by so dread a pest was a
sneeze. Thereupon the plying by
ISLANDERS, with sorrowing glance, would
turn to the newly-marked victim and
exclaim: Inlay God be with your
If this account of the custom be cor
rect, it will be seen in what good rea-
son the usage originated, and with what
want Of all reason it is continued in
times when a sneeze, at the worst, in
dicates but a tri1ing cold Neverthe-
less, it is a pleasant little custom, which
does harm to nobody, and we have not
so many acts of formal courtesy that it
is necessary to dispense with any of
them. YOUTHS Companion.

YOLkS AND WHITES.

A Commission Merchant Chats About two
Peculiar Articles Imported From Eu-
rope.
''The business of importing egg yolks
and egg albumen, which only began
about five years ago, is assuming larger
proportions every year, and every Ger
man steamer brings over dozens of
barrels of egg yolks and hundreds of
tin-lined, air-tight cases of albumen, or
the whites of egg. 1t is possible to
call the albumen food, although it is
used in a very unwholesome shape, be-
ing consumed chiefly by candy manu-
facturers and confectioners- The
former has the quality of making their
candy swell up and appear one-third
larger. For small outlay for albu-
men they can practically increase their
stock in bulk one-third They say it
'aerates' the candy. 1t certainly makes
it dry and sponge-like, and candy made
of it tastes as if it was infused with
carbonic acid gas. When | buy my
children candies make point to avoid
all candy made of egg albumen, for it
is sort of fraud on the little ones.
"Where do most of the eggs come
from?"
Germany sends over more than all
other countries combined, - replied the
EGG merchant. Switzerland, Austria
and Italy send great deal also. The
egg yolll is sent over in the strong bar
rels which have already done duty in
transporting oil from this country to
Europe. The yolks are in liquid form
mixed with about twelve per cent. of
salt. A barrel of egg yolks will weigh
about five hundred pounds. The whole
sale price of the product is fourteen
cents a pound and it takes the yolks of
about three dozen eggs to make a pound.
The albumen is imported in dry state
in cases weighing about three hundred
pounds. 1t is dried in the sun on panes
of glass. The price paid for it there is
fifty cents pound. The thrifty Ger
mans manage to ship the whole egg
over here, shell and all. The shells
are ground and mixed with pipe clay
and the admiXture of shells gives the
clay peculiar gloss and finish. These
pipes are stamped and sent over here
to tempt passers-by in the windows of
tobacco-shops as genuine Powhatan. "
The extent to which the importation
of eggs in the condition mentioned is
supplanting the importation of the egg
in its complete form can be seen by the
following figures obtained at the Mer-
camille Exchange: The importation of
whole eggs in 1882 amounted to 1854
cases (ifty dozen), valued at 100000;
1888, 1897 cases, valued at $112, 900;
1884, 35, 449 cases, valued at $41S,S9S;
1885, %, 100 cases, valued at $236,O19.
The figures for 1886 will show steady
decline from those of 1885. Here can
be seen the rise, the climax and the de-
cline.-N. Y Tribune.

Digging in a Glacier.

A well at Yakutsk, to Siberia, has
been a standing puzzle to scientists for
many years. 1t was begun in 1928, but
given up at thirty feet because it was
still in frozen earth. Then the Russian
Academy of Sciences continued for some
months the work of deepening the well,
but stopped when it had reached to the
extent of some 1872 feet, when the ground
was still frozen as hard as a rock. In
1874 the academy had the temperature
OF the excavation carefully taken at
various depths, and from the data thus
obtained the ground was estimated to
be frozen to depth of 612 feet. AS ex-
ternal cold could not freeze the earth to
such a depth, even in Siberia, geolo-
gists have concluded that the well has
penetrated frozen formation of the
glacial period which has never thawed
out.-Science.

The Profitable Monopoly Enjoyed by the
Hollan1iers at Clymer, N. Y.

The Profitable Monopoly Enjoyed by the
Hollansiers at Clymer, n. Y.
In the town of Clymer, Chautauqua
County, n. Y, is q large settlement of
Hollanders, the older members Of which
brought from their fatherland the SIM
pie manners and industrious habits
which have always been characteristic
of that race. Nearly without exception
they are engaged in general farming
and dairying, and to supplement- their
farm labors they have introduced an in
dustry which is carried on in no other
place in the Union. This is the making
of the wooden shoes or clogs which are
so common in Holland and some other
foreign countries. During the coolest
days and the long winter evenings these
Hollanders ply their knives and
''shaves' almost without cessation.
The business is really monopoly and
of late it has proved very profitable,
the demand for the clumsy shoes for
decorative purposes not only largely
enhancing their value, which the shrewd
Dutchmen were quick to see, but in
creasing the number called for very
materially. The woods used are bass
wood and cucumber. Each shoe is
bored and cut from single block.
They become so well seasoned that a
pair made in the best manner is almost
indestructible. The bulk of these shoes
is handled by dealer in Cory, Pa,
and large number are sent direct to
the Philadelphia market. 1t also re-
quires great many to supply the wants
of the colony itself, as the shoes are
generally worn by both sexes.--Phila-
